In an instant, he saw Gu Qiancheng, who was behind him, disappearing.

Obviously, she must have paused time to save Changsheng.

With his left hand, he grabbed a thin tree and fired several shots into its eyes. The monster let out a bitter wail, like the roar of a tiger, and like the howl of a wolf, mixed with the voice of a young and immature human.

It slowed down slightly, sticking out more limbs over its injured eyes.

Tao Zuoci quickly turned around and continued to run.

Ran to a mountain stream, on the other side of the shallow stream, there was a small stone cave.

Gu Qiancheng was carrying Changsheng on his back, dripping water and walking over there.

"Flush her wounds!"

"What?"

In the babbling stream, the two men had to shout loudly.

"That thing's senses should be very sensitive, you wash her injured part with water!"

When he arrived on the other side, Gu Qiancheng hurriedly did so.

The three of them hid in the dark stone cave, and no one spoke. Only Changsheng was seriously injured and let out a soft whine.

No sooner had they calmed their breathing than there was a dull sound from the sides of the cavern.

The heart hung again, and the three of them fell into extreme panic again.

The rock wall collapsed, revealing a strange figure. They were alert—the shadow seemed to have two heads.

It turned out to be Anseong.

and the wounded Jiang Shuo.

Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. She asked about Jiang Shuo's injuries, and they didn't answer.

Visibly bad.

Anjo tore off the corner of his shirt and helped him wrap it, at least to stop the bleeding first.

Jiang Shuo's lips turned blue because of a large amount of blood loss. He was a little cold and shivered uncontrollably.

Noticing that there were no water stains on them, Gu Qiancheng asked them where they came from.

"I was so panicked that I took a little detour...... There's a big space over there, and we hear the sound of running water at the end, so we try to get through here. ”

Ahnsong explained while bandaging.

Running too fast, Jiang Shuo's fast-beating heart made the blood flow more active. Along the way, it is estimated that a lot of blood was bled again.

He could make the monster unable to see himself, but his distinctive animal features made him equally afraid of his sense of smell. So, it seems that escape has become the only way to survive.

"That's enough!"

Tao Zuo's voice trembled a little, but perhaps it didn't have much to do with fear.

The tone in this sentence seems to be more inclined to a kind of anger, a kind of complaint, and a kind of lament.

Gu Qiancheng seemed to have heard such a tone somewhere.

"Hmm...... This is like a girl's mantra. ”

The muzzle of the gun against her jaw was only a matter of moments.

"Who. ”

"What......"

"Who is it. ”

Since they met in that twilight car, she had never seen this cynical young master show such a terrifying expression.

His voice was low, the faint light gilding those terrible eyes with a sharp glow, but his face was dull and eerie.

At this moment, the tremor struck again, and the light in the cave suddenly disappeared.

In that narrow hole, it was once called Calyx...... Or the monster of the calyx warbler, constantly crashing here.

A sharper sense of smell than you think.

They didn't dare to breathe. The monster stopped, pressed its eyes close to the cave, and scanned it left and right.

They could clearly see that the erected green pupil was suddenly elongated, dividing the eyeball into two parts. Then, a little more to the left and right, forming two new pupils, each of which moves into the two whites of the eyes.

It split.

The monster retreated, and the light spilled into the hole.

Still no one spoke.

Even the blink became cautious.

"Teacher...... Teacher Gu, I'm in so much pain, help me......"

It's Shi Xue's voice.

Gu Qiancheng hurriedly crawled to the door, and was dragged by Tao Zuoci's ankle.

"Are you crazy?"

"But it's ......"

Bang –

The monster crashed into here again.

A strangely thick arm reached in and groped in the hole. They carefully hid in the corners, eager to bury themselves in the stones.

From the direction of Anseong, you can see that the palm of the hand has a shape similar to a human skull, and there is a mouth, which opens and closes. Coming out of it was the wailing of Shi Xue.

I hope she's okay.

Gu Qiancheng was covered by Young Master Tao. She prayed with tears in her eyes.

Eventually, the hand withdrew, and the light poured in again.

After a long time, there was no movement outside.

Jiang Shuo took a deep breath and tried to keep himself awake.

Still, irrepressible sleepiness eroded him.

In order to keep him from falling asleep, Anseong struggled to find a topic.

"This year's New Year, you want to accompany me home, do you know?"

"I ...... Really sleepy. ”

"Also, you have to invite me to dinner when you come back, and I saved your life again. ”

“......”

"Don't sleep! Think about the past, we caught fish, stole the vegetable patch next door, do you remember? Also, when I was a child, I was very timid, sometimes I took a ladder to pick things from high places, I sent you up, and as soon as there was any movement, I scared away. Do you have the impression that you went back and was beaten, and I was also taught a lesson by your ears, remember? Later, I was afraid that I would run away, and every time I came to step up, you went up to ......?"

"I remember, I remember ......"

His voice grew softer and softer, like a soft feather fluttering in the wind.

Anseong was really afraid that this feather would be wet by the bubbling water and would never be able to fly again.

"Every time, An Jiu ran back first, and then found a way to get you down first...... By the way, Ann, Ann...... The thing that Young Master Tao had promised...... We'll see her again, right?"

"No...... You forgot again. ”

"What did you say?"

“...... You forgot again. ”

Jiang Shuo's voice was very soft, he seemed to be a little delirious, and he just passively responded to the questions of the outside world.

"What ...... forgot?"

"She died, she ...... more than ten years ago"

There was a roar in my ears.

After the roar, there was not a silence, but many indescribable sounds.

You can't hear the echoes of the cave, the howling of the wind, or the flow of water.

There are violent shaking of the heart, heavy and rapid breathing, burning blood.

Like a deafening thunderclap.

Like a roaring and roaring storm.

Like a boiling wave.

He's dead.

Long dead.

Suddenly, there was a stir, like the sound of a giant animal moving. But Anseong didn't know if the voice was inside or outside.

He didn't seem to hear anything, and he seemed to hear everything.

Tao Zuoci's gun suddenly pointed at the hole that collapsed when they came, and Gu Qiancheng hugged Changsheng and pressed closer to the stone wall.

"Escape—no—drop—it's gone—"

It was the monster's voice.

Following Jiang Shuo's bloodstains, it looked all the way here.

When the monster appears, it is terrifying. It has mutated faster than expected and has evolved to a very complex level.

Hard, transparent wings sprouted from its back, like sharp blades scraping deep furrows into the stone wall. Two pairs of furry tentacles appeared on the head, slamming out in all directions, catching any movement that might be there. Those big eyes became compound eyes, like puddles of frog eggs, clinging to its body.

And those wriggling tentacles, waving branches, twisted arms......

It resembles the product of a multitude of creatures, and even though it takes up a lot of parts of the human body, it still can't change the fact that it's a monster.

Gu Qiancheng desperately shouted Ancheng, who was close at hand, but he didn't react.

The monster opened its bloody mouth, and its mouth was filled with strange and disordered fangs and many cavities in the mucous membranes. Countless kinds of vocal cords intertwined, and there was a random wail.

Anseong stood in front of him, indifferent.

The monster's inner jaw rushed towards him.

Jiang Shuo closed his eyes in despair.

Suddenly, they heard a shrill shout, which did not sound like that of Anseong.

Gu Qiancheng also opened her eyes, and she saw with her own eyes that the inner jaw of the monster was gradually dismantled by a force, and little by little it turned into ashes that were imperceptible to the naked eye.

This erosion then spreads gradually.

The monster ran out of control in the small space, and Tao had to get out of the original hole. Before going out, he still held Gu Qiancheng's wrist tightly, for fear that she would not be able to think of giving the two students a funeral.

It was like the cry of an evil spirit, echoing in the cave.

Gu Qiancheng knelt at the door.

She was tempted to stop time and bring the two children out.

But she found that she couldn't, perhaps because she was too emotionally stressed.

The sounds in the cave are very complex, mixed with heavy echoes. Dust and rubble were constantly pouring out of the hole.

The whole mountain trembled.

Guilt and self-blame haunted her. She slammed the ground hard, and again, and again.

She didn't stop until the red blood stains were imprinted on it.

After a long time, it was quieter inside. Only the cacophony echoed silently.

A double-headed shadow appeared in the smoke.

Tauzo pointed a gun at it.

The dust gradually cleared.

Once again, An Cheng walked out with Jiang Shuo on his back.

Surprised, Gu Qiancheng fainted.

"Hey, wake up, you haven't made it clear to me, you woman!"

"Teacher!!"

It's very distant, but it's Shi Xue's voice.

They turned around and saw three figures slowly moving down the hillside.

Across the stream, which was not too wide, they shouted.

"We've seen it all up there! Are you all right? Need help!"

Chonglin folded his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted.

Just then, a faint tremor appeared.

Unlike the previous movement when the monster hits, this is more like a mild earthquake, which makes people a little dizzy.

Then, the mountain began to crumble.

There are no landslides or rolling rocks like tigers, they all turn into invisible smoke and disappear without a trace.

When the shock is over, everything is gone.

All around is a vast expanse of white.

It is a ward.

Is the space just now actually such a cramped place, but it's not surprising, after all, the guardian can change it at will.

There was only one bed, a bedside table, a curtain, and two metal shelves for hanging pins.

Anseong, whose face was like ashes, put his friend on the bed.

Jiang Shuo's wounds were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even if that part of the skin is light in color, at least it doesn't bleed anymore.

The bedside table is full of picture frames.

The curtain was slammed open, and it was Ultramarine and Yuewango, who had not yet met them.

Several groups looked at each other to confirm each other's physical condition.

Shi Xue curiously picked up a photo frame, pointed to it and said:

"Look at this, isn't it very similar to the mountain stream ...... just now?"

"Ah, it's like. Liu Xili grabbed it and examined it carefully.

Chonglin picked up another photo.

"Eh...... eh!"

Everyone leaned their heads over and let out a burst of exclamation.

In that photo, it was a family of four.

The two small children in front of them clearly have exactly the same faces.
